Stars juggling defense pairs

The Stars inserted defenseman Adam Pardy into the lineup Saturday and took out Mark Fistric. Coach Glen Gulutzan has been juggling the lineup while he has seven healthy defensemen.

The Stars also juggle defensemen in practice, as every defenseman plays with every other defensemen in drill rotations.

“We have only one right-handed shot [Stephane Robidas], so the bottom line is all of our left-handed defensemen need experience playing on the right side,” Gulutzan said. “That’s what we’re looking to do there.”
